defeat

You were standing there, being your usual happy self butterflies were swarming in my stomach our eyes met for a minute and for 60 seconds, I felt giddy like a little school girl nothing in the world matters, it's just you and me you shifted your eyes away suddenly it felt like all the happiness went away with you, I wondered why you did that, There was something there, I could feel it so why in the world would you do such a thing? I followed where your eyes landed I did not like what I saw I saw you looking at her lovingly It made me so infuriated anger boiled inside of me I wanted to punch her How dare she grab the sweet moment before my eyes? but I can't How can I? She was never cruel, she was never abrasive She's almost perfect She's something I can't compete with It would feel very wrong to harm her So here I am again, Feeling defeated as always.
